When people rediscovered Pompeii where the body's stone?
The bodies were not stone, but they had been covered in ash which then hardened, creating hallows where the bodies were. The people who uncovered Pompeii poured plaster into the holes creating plaster casts.
Did the eruption of pompeii affect the human population?
Yes, many if all of the citizens in Pompeii would of been killed.
Not enough to have a significant impact on the whole population however
It is a visited place because when you stand so far up the volcano you can see the old town of Pompeii!
Also, When tourists come to visit the ruins of Pompeii, they are brought back in time; specifically to 79 AD, the time when Mount Vesuvius let out all of its pent-up energy and unleashed it unto the unsuspecting inhabitants of Pompeii below it. Everything happened so quickly, that the entire town-city and everything within it were "efficiently" buried and rendered devoid of air and moisture -- two requirements for deterioration.
Hence, when it was excavated, Pompeii revealed a treasure trove of ancient historical information.
What was the population of Pompeii?
Around 16,000 people. Around 20,000 people. Around 30,000 people. We have no precise answer because there was no census, and even if there were, we still would have no precise answer because women and slaves were not counted in the census.
How many people survived the eruption of pompeii?
Your question cannot be answered because we don't know how many people were in the city or surrounding area. We do know that thousands escaped, but unless some ancient census figures for the area are uncovered, we can't say exact numbers.
Roundworms are relatively short and thin while tapeworms can get longer and are flattened. Both are white and both die when in contact with air, outside of the instenstinal tract.
A fire makes things hot. Above a fire, you get quite a lot of hot air. Hot air is less dense than cool
air, so it rises. Because there is quite a lot of hot air, it makes quite a big wind current as it rises,
and that drags the smoke particles upward with the air, in much the same way as wind can raise
dust. Some of the smoke particles are very small indeed, so they can be held up in the air for quite
a long time, and they do not settle out from the air until a long time after they leave the fire, and
usually some distance away from the fire.
In a large bushfire, all the hot air produced makes very strong currents indeed, and not only fine
particles, but also quite large burning twigs and leaves can be carried up in the smoke, and do not
fall out until they have travelled quite some distance. It is these pieces of burning vegetation --
called "embers" -- that often start secondary fires, and make fighting large bushfires extremely
difficult and dangerous.
